In a Shellnut
Kiki, at 13 years old, is now finally ready to embark on the traditional rite of passage for witches everywhere. With only her familiar for company, she'll set out for a year of training away from home to hone her skills and take the first steps towards entering the adult world. However, the crowded city proves a drastic change from the rural setting she grew up in and Kiki must face the differences between her expectations and reality.

Strong Points
It's a pleasant coming of age story that's perfectly suitable for families, especially those with children around their early teens.
Weak Points
The story is heavily de-emphasised in favor of mere events.

Elaboration
This movies marks the second in a style that's different to the first two from Ghibli (and very different from Grave of the Fireflies). Both this and My Neighbor Totoro forgo all their complexity for a smooth experience and strong aesthetic. This movie is not quite as popular as Totoro is, but the slightly older protagonist makes it rather more approachable to people from outside the target demographic so I personally see them as being rather equal.
We also see the resurrection of Ghibli's Achilles heel with the ending being shoved into the final few minutes with no detailed resolution whatsoever. It's fine, really, since in the end it doesn't really matter to the quality of the movie and it's not like anything was lost, but it makes you wonder what exactly the last hour has been building up to. As with the others, it's all about the worldbuilding and the experiences of the characters.
Overall just a neat watch. I personally liked it a bit better than Totoro because the cat is funny and I can relate to a teen better than a ten year-old.
